Some poor banter happening in this thread lol

Going to be an epic ride, I know the 'old route' but not the new updated part so much lol

Bike is back to make some kinda noise again, I'll give it some tlc and see if that helps

Hopefully going to pick up a new derailleur + hanger from @Harry_Palmer79 tomorrow and then get it tweaked and working for Saturday

I take it upon myself, as the partner of one of the belles, to also bring up the arriere du peloton, with a stout stick to fend off would-be admirers if need be.

All part of the plan to keep messy and yourself to the back and not racing off!

 

[Rasmus]

After the warmup ride, I doubt Ed and I will be racing off anywhere...

 

[Louch]

I have added the route to my Garmin.

It's a nice and flat per ride you two have...really when you've come down dunning hill you should be going straight back up it, strava hunting and all that

Off topic, but good target audience. I am going to evans at xscape today, any other bike shops near there worth me visiting?

There's a new Evans opened in Bath Street in Glasgow - they may have some opening offers on.

Braehead is basically just a big out-of-town retail park, so there's not much else in the area.

Was there last night to stock up on spares for Saturday's ride, didn't see much in the way of offers that aren't already on their site or in the Xscape store.

Cheers lads. Are you not doing the sportive On Sunday Ed if you are cycling up Saturday?

 

[GlasgowFinn]

Bit breezy tomorrow.

 

[Col5632]

Bit breezy tomorrow.

I really hope there is no wind

Nah, did it last year and, what with the CC Ecosse ride tomorrow and the fact that I'm doing the 5 Ferries Challenge and the AMR Glasgow 100 next weekend, decided that the Obree Sportive is a bit too hilly for my liking

 

[Louch]

Wise choice
